Designs By Ahn

I used Designs By Ahn for my New York City wedding in November and they did an absolutely stunning job! My vision for the reception was for a candlelit, romantic dinner party for my closest 120 friends. They nailed it with a mix of floating candles, pillar candles and cut flowers. Their team was extremely responsive during planning and made the experience truly enjoyable. I’d recommend them to anyone!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Victoria and the Designs by Ahn team. We received quotes from many of NYC’s top florists and this was the clear choice to combine quality and value. They listened to our ideas and took the time to have us in for a second meeting to review samples, making sure everything matched our vision. They were seamless on our wedding day and all of our guests commented on the amazing flowers. Thank you Victoria, Michelle, and to the whole team!

I was so glad I was able to find DBA after contacting and meeting with a few florists serving the Mnhttn area. The quotes I got from most sounded very inflated while another told me my vision couldn’t be achieved under a certain budget. However, Victoria’s tone was more open and approachable.
Given that brides are notoriously the hardest type of clients to please, her persistant pleasantness left a lasting impression. I had pretty specific ideas and she was able to create my vision according to my desriptions in a series of emails that they somehow managed to keep a very good track of. I had never seen photos of hers with the type of garland runners I had in mind so I was very nervous about how she would interpret all my ideas but it was the best feeling when we walked into our venue tranformed with all their beautiful touches just as I had dreamt of! She even sourced a particular type of candelabra for our tables and was able to get my favorite type of flowers for my bouquet. Thank you!
Even left w/​o specific descriptions, she would create a more beautiful look better than what you would expect. I would recommend her for any type of wedding big or small as she seems flexible –coincidently I discovered 3 mutual friends are using her as well.
Her flowers were so so important in creating a romantic and dreamy ambience to our wedding!

Found DbA on Unilocal as it’s close by where I live. Needed a bouquet and a boutonnière for my city hall ceremony which was happening on Friday. Emailed them some pictures for idea (downloaded from Pinterest) and came in for a quick (’15) consultation on Tuesday. Victoria and her team noted down what I was looking for, asked for my budget ($ 150 total) and took it from there. Came Friday. the bouquet and boutonnière came EXACTLY how I was envisioning. Very trendy and abs. gorgeous! I am very pleased w/​the entire process & the end products. Would use again & rec them to my friends!

I initially didn’t know what to expect as there was some miscommunication between Victoria’s team and I during the planning process for my wedding. Moreover, during my mock-​up appointment with Victoria, the arrangement presented was a modest size, and I made a lot of changes to the direction since then.
But I was completely blown away with the final product. Designs by Ahn took my updated direction and ran with it! From my floral crown to the picturesque garden they turned Gramercy Park Hotel into for our reception, everything was so beautiful — all of our guests kept raving about it. One of my friends (who is about to get married) even got her contact information as she was so impressed with DbA’s work. For someone who spent a lot of time researching flowers on Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, etc., I was surprised to how the arrangements still managed to take my breath away. The flowers were lush, the styling was unique and modern, and her cost was very competitive (good value). We were very satisfied the final product and would gladly recommend her to others.

Victoria and her team was absolutely outstanding. The flowers for our wedding were way more incredible than we could have ever dreamed of. The bouquets, the table flowers and the magical chuppah were breathtaking — we have not stopped receiving such incredible feedback from the décor.
Victoria and the team were also a pleasure to work with — Victoria understood my vision right away and helped me bring it to life. We are from Toronto and planned the wedding in NYC and she made the process so easy for us!
We interviewed one other florist, however, Designs by Ahn’s quote was half the price of the other one! Using her was a no brainer!
We can’t thank the team enough and we highly recommend them!

Designs by Ahn created the most beautiful floral arrangements, bouquets and floral ceremony arch for my wedding this past weekend. Everything was amazing. The space looked exactly how I had envisioned it in my head and my guests were completely in awe.
Victoria is so easy to work with and seems to be able to read your mind as to what you are looking for. We had 2 brief meetings and I showed her some photos and she nailed exactly the atmosphere and vibe and I was looking for. I am so happy with my experience.

I’m so happy i chose them to be my wedding florist. Going to their «store» was such a pleasant experience in itself. The style and ambience was exactly what i wanted for my wedding so i picked them without even having to visit other florists. Victoria and her team was so patient with me when i made so many changes up to the last minute. It was so easy to work and communicate with them. On the day of, everything was spot on, everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were. Their prices are very reasonable as well and they are so professional in what they do. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful :)

I was referred to Designs by Ahn by a friend who had worked with them for her own wedding.
All I can say is, they made my wedding flower dreams come true! I was on a budget and was not sure whether they could accommodate with what I was willing to spend, but I found that they were very flexible in terms of pricing.
I met with Victoria (the owner) and she was very friendly and very open to suggesting alternative/​less expensive options for what I wanted for my wedding.
In the weeks leading up the wedding, I had lots of last minute changes/​requests to make to my original order and she and her staff were extremely patient with me and very flexible in adjusting my order.
I was a bit worried about the final products actually, since other than showing her pictures from Pinterest/​online of what I wanted for my bouquet, boutonnieres, etc. and seeing one sample in person of what my table arrangements would look like, I didn’t get to see any of the final products until the day before my wedding! But it was perfect and just what I wanted.
All in all, with the wedding craziness, I was glad I didn’t have to constantly follow up with Victoria and her team and that with just a few pictures and a few conversations, she was able to recreate what I wanted for my own wedding (within my budget!).
Thanks Victoria & Team!

Spectacular. The team at Designs by Ahn made my dreams come true! Our wedding looked like a fairytale. They are so helpful, friendly and creative, too!

I recently hosted the rehearsal dinner for my sister and her new husband. The party was held in a private room at a restaurant in midtown, and I wanted some simple but pretty arrangements for centerpieces.
I spent way too many hours online comparing florists, and finally snapped and just told myself to call Designs by Ahn and end the drama. The rehearsal dinner was taking place during the Pope’s visit to MSG just a few blocks away, so I wanted to go with a florist nearby that could potentially walk the arrangements over in case the traffic was as horrible as they predicted.
I was blown away with what they came up with! I had found an arrangement I liked online, and they recommended making the pieces smaller and increasing the number from 4 to 6 for the same total price. They were perfect, absolutely stunning, and I got SO many compliments on them from the guests. We brought the flowers back to the hotel room to brighten it up while we had our hair and makeup done for the wedding the next day, and they stayed perky and pretty all day. Fabulous work, reasonably priced, and highly professional staff. Many thanks!

When it comes to flowers, I’m very particular. If you add in the wedding factor, let’s say it’s not easy to please. I looked at a number of florist as I was looking for just a bouquet and a flower collar for my dog. After perusing through reviews, instagram feeds, and Pinterest, I settled on Designs by Ahn. I sure wasn’t disappointed!
I emailed DbA thinking that I could deal with everything via email. However, I did get a chance to meet with Victoria. She understood what I was looking for and last Saturday, I had the most beautiful bouquet I could ask for. Even the dog collar was beautiful. I asked the flowers to be delivered before noon and by 9:30am I had received both. Beautiful flowers, beautiful design!

I interviewed 5 florists for my wedding, and ended up with Designs by Ahn because Victoria immediately understood my vision when we met. I showed a couple Pinterest photos and inarticulately explained what I wanted, and somehow Victoria just got it!
My husband and I could not be happier with the choice. DbA made stunning, flowing, ombré arrangements for our long dinner tables and a gorgeous asymmetrical, bright, yellow and purple wedding arch. My bouquet was also absolutely stunning and as luscious as I asked.
Note: DbA has a very small (though incredibly sweet and thoughtful) team and space. They’re not one of the NYC machine-​like institutions though, and that’s what makes their aesthetic sense and arrangements so unique and special. Plus, the prices are right (they were more than willing to work within our budget) so we were absolutely thrilled!

It was so easy to work with Michelle and her team. I didn’t feel pressure to go over my budget. Michelle worked with my budget and came up with the most beautiful floral arrangements. My bouquet was like a dream. I love it so much, I didn’t even bother tossing the bouquet. I took it home and enjoyed admiring it daily.

Had my wedding flowers made by Designs by Ahn. My main frustration was that the flowers for the bouquet and table centerpieces didn’t look perfectly healthy for my wedding, but to be fair I think it had to do with the hot weather. 3 days before my wedding when I visited her store to see the flowers, I told Victoria that I noticed that the flowers weren’t doing well, and she explained that the particular flowers that I had would bloom with curled up petals. I then asked her to switch one particular kind of flowers with some other ones, and I was told that she had already purchased the flowers from the market and could not be very flexible with the switch over, which I understood. But on the day of the wedding, the flowers looked worse (petals were more curled up) and some of the white flowers had wrinkles on the petals, and some of the dusty millers were wilted down or had brown little dots. I didn’t even bother to bring home the bouquet because it was not in a good shape at the end of the day.
Another big disappointment was that I asked specifically for a cascade of flowers on my wedding cake, but when I saw the cake at my grand entry, I was shocked to see that the flowers were simply laid out on the top tier and in between the 2^nd and 3^rd tier of the cake. I don’t know if it was because my request did not get to her, or if the cake bakery messed up the flowers. In any event, the amount of flowers on the cake did not look like they would be enough to make a cascade look.
Her team did a great job in setting up the florals for the gazebo at my ceremony though.

Ahn’s did a great job for my wedding! I sent photos of the look I was going for, and they totally delivered! They cautioned me on what flowers would have a hard time lasting throughout the ceremony and suggested alternatives, and provided cathodes for individual blooms to make sure they stayed looking great! They delivered the flowers ahead of time, so it was one less thing to worry about. I would recommend them!

I was searching in the area for a flower shop that would be willing to create a cute and colorful flower bouquet for a friend that was getting her marriage license that day. My friend wanted the gathering to be very casual, and knowing her she wasn’t going to prepare any bouquet for herself… so I went ahead and decided to get one for her!
There was nothing that caught my attention in the area (I walked into 4 – 5 flower shops in the neighborhood), so as soon as I found Designs by Ahn, I decided to give it a go.
Once I got there, it was obviously an office space (beautiful and full of flowers) with clients ready to discuss and plan for an event. I felt self-​conscious because I only wanted a bouquet… however, they were so welcoming! After I made my request, they happily agreed, asked me for a price range, and asked for a general impression of the bouquet. All I said was: «$ 50 and bright colors! My friend is getting her marriage license :)» The bouquet my seem pricy, but come on, my friend was getting officially married! I waited for 10 – 15 minutes and out came a stunning bouquet of flowers. I assume they don’t usually get last-​minute walks-​ins like me, so I truly appreciated their service. And the best part of the day… my friend LOVED the flowers!

They gave me the best bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages. They are elegant, beautiful and made my wedding perfect.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!
This shop had such great reviews on all of the wedding blogs, I knew I had to make an appointment. Victoria and her staff absolutely exceeded all of my expectations and created dream flowers for my wedding day on 2.15.2015! I knew when I saw the sample arrangements on her website and reviews online, I had to have Designs By Ahn as my wedding florist.
Meeting with Victoria was a real treat. Her studio is all white and modern with gorgeous flowers everywhere. It felt like a mini vacation. It was evident that she really loves what she does. Together we looked at pictures from Pinterest and she was able to guide me through some ideas that accommodated my style, venue, color preferences and favorite flowers. Victoria created a quote based on exactly everything we wanted; she even explained the price ranges so that I had options to pick from so that she could accommodate my budget.
Victoria is kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She responded very quickly to emails and when I told her what our budget was, she was so flexible. A few weeks before the wedding, she invited me into her studio to show me an example of what my wedding flowers would look like.
My wedding flowers were to die for. She nailed the colors and textures to fit the historic venue, winter season as well as my dress. Victoria created beautiful bouquets, center pieces and boutonnières. My bouquet was a lovely mix of tulips, ranunculus, anemone, brunia, amnesia rose, berries, dusty miller, hand-​wrapped in a satin ribbon. The boutonnières were blue thistle with grey brunia wrapped in black and white striped ribbon. Not only were the flowers gorgeous, they were packed with the utmost precision. They arrived in beautiful boxes and the boutonnières were labeled appropriately with everyone’s names. During our wedding reception, people kept raving about how unique the flowers and boutonnières were.
On our wedding day, the flowers were delivered promptly to the church on time. We got so many compliments on our flowers and the pictures are stunning. I have already referred someone to use her services. Book with Designs By Ahn, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Victoria!

Victoria did an amazing job with my wedding flowers! She really understood my vision of the wedding just by simply showing her my wedding color palette and pictures of my dress and bridesmaid dresses. The flowers were stunning and gorgeous. Loved the mix of various fresh garden roses. The escort card table center piece was also very unique and stunning. She was one of the best vendors I worked with during whole planning process. It was such a pleasure working with her!
